He past away just this morning of emphysema. He was always my favorite "late night" talk show host. This is very sad news to me. :(

Sucks, I still liked him better than Jay Leno.

I thought that was pretty wild when I read that today, as I just remember hearing something the other day about how he was trying to get more involved with writing jokes/scripts, etc... for the Tonight Show.
